Chapter XII

"The little prince of Jiang Kingdom? Did you find him later? ”

"When the little prince escaped, he was targeted by the beasts in the mountains, and when he found it, most of his body was gnawed, and he didn't see the shadow of the jade pendant for a long time, but according to the description of the nurse of the East Palace, he found the birthmark of birth on his body, and his identity was determined."

I paused and asked, "Wang Hu, do you know what kind of jade the gold inlaid jade pendant on his body is?" ”

"This ...... The villain really doesn't know, although Jiang Guo is a small country, but in the end, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the royal things are definitely not what our little people can imagine! ”

"Then it's no problem, it is estimated that the style is similar, all the Houmen Xiuhu in this Kyoto City, who doesn't have a gold inlaid jade thing, it's just that the size and jade species are different, and all jade pendants are very different!"

"Also, the villain is too careful."

I smiled and said curiously, "It turns out that you have joined the army, no wonder your subordinates are so powerful!" ”

"Miss has been promoted, since the villain was disarmed and returned to the field, her head was injured, and she has been crazy for all these years, and her kung fu has long been wasted, that is, her strength is greater than others, and her hands are more ruthless than others."

I smiled and asked a question that had been bothering me for a long time, "Wang Hu, there is something I want to ask you, if you don't want to say it, you can not say it, don't force it." ”

"Miss, please speak."

"I know that you were injured a few years ago, and you have been confused for a few years, but I still don't know if I can talk about it, if I can help, I can help you. Of course, if it's a family feud, it's okay if you really don't want to talk about it. ”

Wang Hu sighed and said with a forced smile, "It's not a big deal, if it weren't for the young lady asking, the villain really wouldn't have the face to say." Before joining the army, the villain in the neighboring village had a good relationship, and the villain and her made a private agreement for life early, saying that as long as the war was over, we would get married. Who knew that when she was relieved and returned to the field, she had become a woman, and the villain was unwilling, so she came to the door to theorize, and was plotted by her husband's family, and hurt her head with a stick. ”

Although Wang Hu smiled strongly, I knew in my heart that the pain in my body was never the most painful, but the pain in my heart was the most deadly.

"I shouldn't have asked, I uncovered your scars............"

"Nothing! So many years have passed, and the villain has also figured it out, this kind of thing is fate, and you can't force it! Besides, it's good now, I have food to eat and a house to sleep in. It's more at ease than on the battlefield, moisturized than before, and the days are beautiful! ”

I smiled, patted him on the shoulder and promised, "Don't worry, when you get married in the future, I will definitely send you a set of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang to make your life more nourishing!" ”

"Miss Xie."

The wind gradually tightened, and a large number of dark clouds drifted from the west, and we saw that the sky was not good and we were busy parting, and we went back to various places, and it rained halfway back to the house, and after going back, we fell into a wind chill, and we lay down for several days before we got better.

My mother saw that I was sick and rarely let me rest for a few days, she knew that my father was staying in the house and I didn't dare to run around, so I was relieved to go to the ladies to chat, I was really bored in the house, so I simply took down the piano to pass the time.

The fox always said that my piano skills were as bad as mud, and when I listened to it, I felt that I played it well, although it was not as good as the fox, but it was still okay as Yaxing!

"Miss!"

"There's something big that can't wait until I'm done playing! This interest that has finally been up has been interrupted, if I can't become a piano saint, it's all because of you, this girl!

Cai Qing sighed helplessly, and made amends to me in a tone of voice, "Please forgive me!" Miss Meng Lemeng is here, and she is sitting in the front hall! ”

"Leyi is back! It's not even the end of the year, why did you come back all of a sudden? ”

Meng Le is different from me, she is the daughter of General Meng, who commanded the three armies, and their Meng family has guarded the country for generations, and most of the ancestors sacrificed their lives for the country.

She is the daughter of the real famous family, don't say that the young ladies and sons in the city dare not offend her, even the princess and prince have to look at her face to speak.

Her mother was weak and left early, and her father never renewed the strings, and she was the only one at home who took her with her when she went south and north, leaving a few aunts and an old mother in Beijing to watch the house.

Meng Le is not like other female Jiao'e, she likes to have a big blade than jewelry rouge, she can't use a bowl if she can drink wine, and she doesn't need a bowl if she can use a basin. Speaking and doing things is more courageous than a man, a good martial arts, and there is nothing to say with a dozen or ten. Her father didn't care about the family, from her grandmother to the mother-in-law who cooked on the fire, and no one didn't listen to her.

She and I met a few years ago, and we both thought we were good, and we became friends. Later, his father was ordered to guard the fortress of Shanhaiguan, and took her away for four or five years, and only returned to Beijing to report on his work every year, and left Beijing in a hurry after staying for only two or three days.

I hurried to the main hall, and saw a boy in Xuanyi who was holding the girl's hand and talking and laughing, the boy brother was sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the eyebrows were chic and handsome, and the girls in the hall were all blushing, and they didn't dare to look at "him" when they looked down.

The girl who was held by "him" withdrew her hand with a smile, put the snack on the table next to her, turned her head and ran out shyly.

"Where did the son-in-law dare to come to my Ye Mansion to tempt the little girl, it's really arrogant!"

The boy looked back and smiled, lifted Erlang's legs and teased, "Who made your Ye Mansion a place where the heavens are beautiful, and the girls are more beautiful than the other, and it's strange if they don't attract people's attention!" ”

Look at this gentlemanly style, how many years have not changed, I always wonder if I can't keep it is her who brought it bad, I didn't have the habit of wearing men's clothes before I met her.

"Didn't Uncle and you return to Beijing until the end of the year? Why did you come back all of a sudden, is there something wrong? ”

"It's okay, my father was suddenly urgently recruited by the emperor to return to Beijing, and I returned to Beijing with my father when I had nothing to do in the army. I just got home and didn't take a breath, and I was upset by a few aunts at home, so I simply came to you to hide! ”

"So I've become your haven! Tell me what happened to your aunts? ”

She crossed her legs and shook her head and sighed, "You want to choose a husband for me."

"Ahem!" A mouthful of water got stuck in my throat and almost didn't squirt out.

I wiped my mouth and hurriedly asked, "But you are forced to practice female embroidery, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" ”

"What?" She asked suspiciously, "What are you doing with that?" ”

I cleared my throat, took out my mother's life truth, and persuaded her bitterly, "No, what if your mother-in-law bullies you on this ground?" ”

Meng Le snorted disdainfully, clenched his fists and shook them in the air, "Dare!" Look at Lao Tzu if he doesn't tear down their bones! ”

Sure enough, there is strength! Have the guts! It is worthy of being a tiger girl!

"It's rare for me to go back to Beijing this time, I don't know when I will suddenly leave Beijing, let's find a place to go to a bar!"

"Yes!"

I smiled at her slightly, smiling very kindly, but Meng Le looked at me vigilantly.

"You........ Do you want to do it? ”

"Xiao Lele, you have to change your clothes first and go to Erniang to perform in front of you, otherwise I won't be able to go out!"

......................................... you

"Okay, don't pout, didn't you come out smoothly!"

"Ye Hao, I hate you!"

"And what is hateful? You didn't even see that when you changed into women's clothes, the maid had round eyes. Meng Le, you are handsome, both men and women are killed! ”

Meng Le drooped his head, as if he had experienced a defeat, and waved his hand decadently, "Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you, find a place to drink!" ”

"Where to drink?"

She thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes, I heard Cao Xianfeng say that there is a soft incense pavilion in the alley of one person, in which the beauties are like clouds, the color and art are complete, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all incomprehensible." We happen to be wearing men's clothes again, so let's go find two beautiful girls to serve them well, how about it? ”

"Soft Incense Pavilion ..........."

"What, don't want to go?"

Cai Qing took a step forward and saluted Meng Le, "Miss Meng doesn't know, my young lady has a friend who is in the Soft Fragrance Pavilion, and he just passed away a few days ago, so I am afraid that it will be sad to go at this time." The slave had the courage to introduce Miss Meng to a good place to drink, and there was a green bamboo courtyard in the alley of one person, where there was a lotus boy, who was said to have extraordinary piano skills and was better than Pan An. Even Miss has praised him for his beautiful piano sound, if you are interested, you can listen to it! ”

"Did Zhen Zhen approve of it? Then I'm sure I'm going to take a look! Lead the way! She was instantly interested, raised her eyebrows, and pulled Cai Qing away.

When she arrived at Qingzhu Courtyard, the old bustard shook her handkerchief and came forward to greet her with a smile, and Meng Le didn't talk nonsense with her, "Smack!" With a bang, a large yellow ingots were thrown on the table, and the old bustard couldn't close his mouth happily, and said attentively, "Oops! This master, Mother Zhang, I will let all the sons in the courtyard come to you, you can choose at will! ”

"Don't bother! You just call out the Lian Gongzi who can play music, my brother likes to listen to him play the piano, and I can prepare some good wine for my uncle!" ”

"Lian Gongzi ....." Zhang's mother was stunned, shook the handkerchief, and sighed, "Oops!" This master is not a frequent visitor, I don't know, our Lian Gongzi is no more than ordinary Xiaojuan, no matter how much real money there is, it is useless. ”

"Smack! Old bustard, you dare to tell your master, there are still people in the world who are not rare in money? ”

Meng Le slapped the table and scared the old bustard, I hurriedly grabbed her and explained in a low voice, Meng Le believed that the old bustard did not scold her, picked up the teacup and said, "Since this is the case, then tell me, what does this Lian Gongzi want?" ”

The old bustard spread his hands and shook his head helplessly, "Don't worry, this master, I really don't know what Lian Gongzi wants, some time ago someone gave a bead, the condition is really not good, who knows that he will receive it." Later, someone sent beads, which were still shark beads from the South China Sea, as big as the mouth of the bowl, which could be called superb, but he just didn't want to take them, and drove people away. It's all up to him to like it, and I'm helpless! ”

Meng Le smiled: "There is also this matter!" It's a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds! ...... like this"

Meng Le pulled off a piece of his hair, and the serious old bustard said, "Buddhists often say that there are three thousand troubles, and a trace is better than a trace." You give him this trouble of mine, and hope that he will play a song for me, so that I can relieve my sorrows. Go ahead! ”

"Okay, Master, wait a minute, Mom, I'll come when I go!"

"Will this work?"

Meng Le crossed Erlang's legs, and was eye-catching with Xiao Wanmei on the side, and when he heard my words, he shook his hand and said, "Try your luck!" ”

After a while, I saw the old bustard walking with a smile on his face, "Mom, I said hello to the two masters, and Lian Gongzi accepted the gifts of the two, please go upstairs!" ”

I was stunned, only to see Meng Le raise his eyebrows at me triumphantly, and fold the fan, "Huh!" As soon as he opened it, he smiled and said, "Ye Gongzi, what are you doing stupidly?" Walking! ”

After speaking, I went upstairs with the turtle male first, and the old bustard urged me, "Yo! Ye Gongzi, why are you still stunned, go upstairs! ”

I reacted and hurriedly followed the turtle up the stairs, and I was nervous when I was overjoyed by this sudden invitation, and I almost didn't slide down the stairs with a fluttering step.

I entered the house with Meng Le, only to see that the gauze tent in the house was heavy, and the turtle led us to sit outside the gauze tent, and the turtle quietly retreated after placing the tea and snacks.

Meng Le walked around the room and smacked his lips, "Look, these are the treasures of the Heavenly Silkworm Villa, the Moon Shadow Shark Yarn." The price is more than gold, and this one is enough for the three armies to eat at the border for a month! And the incense burner, it turned out to be ............."

Meng Le said all the things in the whole house, and finally said regretfully, "If this is not in Kyoto, it is a big fat sheep, it's a pity!" ”

"You said that you are not thirsty for a long time, sit down and rest!"

Meng Le just sat down, only to hear the door "squeak" opened, and a faint fragrance of flowers faintly came, clear and comfortable. Through the heavy gauze tent, I could only faintly see a person walking with a piano.

After the man sat down, he adjusted the sound of the piano, the familiar and unfamiliar sound of the piano, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, and asked in a daze, "What tune does Childe want to play today?" ”

The sound of the piano stopped, and I saw that the man was slightly stunned, looked up, and said suspiciously, "You.... Ever heard my piano? ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the fragrance of flowers in the forest floated from the forest, tactfully and long. It is like a mountain stream flowing water, crisp and refreshing.

My heart suddenly tightened, I lowered my eyes and didn't dare to look at him, and forced a laugh, "No!" ”

I only heard a chuckle from the top of my head, and I only felt like my heart was drumming in front of a battle, beating so hard that it became difficult to breathe.

The sound of the piano came through the heavy gauze tent, and I hated the gauze tent covering his figure, and at the same time I hoped that the sound of the piano would blow my lovesickness to him.

"Vera, Vera! Vera! ”

I came back to my senses, only to see Meng Le poking his head in front of me, I leaned back sharply, there was no sound of the piano in the room, I looked sideways, there was no one behind the gauze tent, and the person I missed every day did not know when he left.

"What do you want? It's been a long time! ”

I coughed dryly and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, I just woke up and fell asleep." ”

"You can fall asleep when you open your eyes!" Meng Le hugged his arms with a playful face, and sighed, "I don't see it, since the son who played the song entered the door, your soul has been hooked." Tell me, do you look down on others? ”

"What you don't have is nothing, whatever you want." I got up and walked out, and Meng Le asked beside me.

If someone from her house hadn't come to her and said that there was an emergency, I was afraid that she would really be trapped.

Ever since I saw Lian Gongzi, my heart seems to be tied to the thread, always worried, several times in the dream was woken up by Cai Qing, saying that I was talking about some unintelligible dream words, I ran to a lane when I was free, but unfortunately I didn't even see a corner of his clothes.

One night, I held the fox's piece of jade and thought under the candle, the pattern of the phoenix Yu Fei has been set, I have compared, found that the size of this jade is slightly small, not suitable for making Phoenix Yu Fei, I have asked the stupid third to help me aim in the vault, see the right jade species to say hello to me.

But the problem is that at the moment, this jade is a good jade, and I really can't help but want to carve it.

One person lane, Qingzhu Courtyard.

"Oops! Isn't this Ye Gongzi! Are you here to see Lian Gongzi again? ”

I handed a brocade box to the bustard, and said with a smile, "This is a rare treasure, even if it is a green bamboo courtyard, you can't get it, Mother Zhang, you have to take it in prison, it's terrible to fall!" ”

The old bustard's eyes widened, and he looked curious, and leaned forward to inquire, "This.... What's in there? Mom asks you for a reward, can you open it and take a look! ”

I took out a silver ingot from my sleeve and put it in her hand, "Look bad, yours is mine." Here! This one is left for mom to drink tea! ”

"Childe is so polite, how embarrassed am I, Mom!"

The old bustard's mouth was grinning to the root of his ears, he carried the silver in his arms, called a turtle boy to serve by my side, and walked upstairs by himself.

Within a moment, the old bustard came downstairs and said to me with a happy face, "Say hello to Gongzi, Gongzi Lian has accepted your gift, Abu, and quickly lead Gongzi upstairs, and then make a pot of my treasured good tea and send it." ”

I went upstairs with the turtle father, and saw that there were already people sitting there behind the heavy gauze tent, and the turtle made tea and quietly retreated. There were many figures behind the gauze tent, I don't know if the wind blew the gauze tent or the man came over, I watched the figure get closer and closer, closer and closer.

Finally, the white dress came up to me, and my heart beat a drum, and I only felt that my body was light and fluttering, and my head was dizzy. I pinched myself secretly, and the clear pain made me pretend to be a little calm.

I looked up along the corner of my snow-white clothes, just in front of those beautiful eyes, with a faint smile in my eyes, my heart trembled suddenly, and I felt that my old face was hot, and I hurriedly lowered my head.

"The jade pendant is from you?"

"Yes."

I only heard him exclaim, "The lotus flower on the jade pendant is so lifelike, even the lines on the petals are clearly visible, I am curious about which gold store is the palm of the hand." I don't want to, it's a little girl! ”
